Previous to the use of the silencer a visual controll of the surrounding is
necessary to prevent hazards for persons and/or values.
2.8 Danger of Pressurized Gases
All pressure – bearing components must be kept depressurized during repair

Individuals staying close to the vent silencer during blow-off, risks danger for life

not scope of supply (See Glaunach Information Brochure: Information 9 „

For dewatering pipes the same Safety Precautions apply as for the
